Chiloba's sentiments come after IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati requested NASA to call off the planned protests.
Chebukati urged the Opposition to cancel the demos and allow the electoral body to engage them and Jubilee on Wednesday with regard to the issues they had raised concerning the presidential election.
However, the Opposition has turned down the request with NASA co-principal Moses Wetanfula declaring that the protests will go on as planned.
"IEBC has failed to address our demands.We’re going to demonstrate at IEBC offices," the Bungoma senator said.
